Mighty Marlins
The Mighty Marlin program is for young swimmers (approximately 4-8) who are working towards being on the swim team! We welcome younger brothers and sisters of current Marlins, as well as those children new to the swim team experience! Assesments are June 3rd or June 4th at 6:30pm.
The Mighty Marlin Program includes:
- 5 weeks of 45 minute classes in the mornings after school has ended
- Classes focus on developmental freestyle and backstroke skills, as well as basic racing techniques, including starts!
- Joining our big Marlins at pep rallies and any spirit events!
- And finally, our much anticipated 2026 Mighty Marlin Meet on the last day of classes!
Please note that the Mighty Marlin program does not replace swim lessons and is not a water readiness class. Your child is ready for the Mighty Marlin program when he/she is:
- comfortable leaving YOU their parent(s)
- comfortable being in the water
- comfortable putting their face in the water
- able to independently paddle/swim from the wall to the first lifeguard stand without putting feet down
- NO snorkel mask (our recommendation for goggles are the Speedo Unisex-Child Swim Goggles or Speedo Jr. Vanquisher 2.0)
These requirements ensure that all of our Mighty Marlins and instructors have a safe and productive swim season! You have plenty of time after the pool opens in May and before our classes begin to get your child Mighty Marlin ready!
Mighty Marlins will be evaluated for these skills during our Mighty Marlin screenings the week of June 3. Your fee will be refunded if they are unsuccessful. If your child cannot complete these tasks, or is younger than 4 years old, please consider private lessons with one of our energetic young coaches or group swim lessons offered through the pool.
The 2026 Mighty Marlin classes will run daily from Monday, June 22th through Wednesday, July 22th from 9:30-10:15am. The Mighty Marlin meet will take place on Thursday, July 23rd, during our last class.
